Larry Lamb has joked appearing on New Tricks was like “gate-crashing your own wake” because he found out the show was getting axed AFTER signing up for the programme.

The Gavin and Stacey star plays Ted Case in the BBC comedy-drama’s 12th and final series and admitted it was “a bit weird” being told the programme was going to end.

Speaking on This Morning, in a video you can see above, he said: “It wasn’t the last series when I signed up. All of a sudden off it went. It was a bit weird because it was like gate-crashing your own wake.

"You just go to do it anyway without a view to this being the end. You just have to get on with it.”
